I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers…

    The problem is there’s some 90s albums I can’t find anywhere - not on Discogs, not on eBay, not on Marketplace. The record labels are usually long gone. But they’re on Soulseek. I’m not sure what else to do to get them.

    There’s also things like DJ sets/mixes that were never sold, only ever distributed online for free.

      And that Judas priest CD in the cellar somewhere, sometimes you have paid the artist already so soulseek comes in handy.

        Of course… I mean you don’t want them coming around your place to see you do you (Judas Priest that is)

      Of course… not quite my point but yours is valid. I’d just like a more ethical alternative which I know is asking far too much in 2025
